Precast concrete company FP McCann has announced extensions to several of its factories to increase its manufacturing capabilities and introduce new product lines.
FP McCann’s £90m investment programme enables the company to support the industry as it responds to the new material demands which will come with the introduction of the Future Homes Standard in 2025.
With these changes in mind, the company is investing in a new factory to produce Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks and Panels (AAC), with further new products coming through the development of another bagging line, which will be operational in Q4 2024 and will bolster the company’s growth in bagged products, incorporating its specialist mortars and grouts.
Buoyed by positive 2024 half-year sales, FP McCann’s strategic investment will create approximately 100 new jobs.
A spokesperson for the company stated: “We constantly take on board customer feedback, and the investment in these new products and services is driven by the needs of our customers. As an example, FP McCann’s unique multi-product load offering has been a fantastic success. Builders’ merchants no longer have to coordinate multiple deliveries of single product loads, each often carrying a part-load surcharge.”
